1.4. Question: 

The battery life becomes shorter, How can I rebuild it ?  

 

 

Battery life will vary from user to user depending on how the computer is being used. To help 

increase your battery life, you can configure the power management features within the 

Power Management properties of Windows 98 Second Edition.  

 

To access Power Management properties click on the Start button, go to Settings and choose 

Control Panel. Next, click on the Power Management Icon. You can customize these settings 

as you choose. You should be aware that any power management features will be of benefit 

only if there are periods of inactivity which allow the settings to engage. Please note that the 

battery in the A440 takes about 2.5 hours to fully charge with the machine turned OFF.

 

 
 

1.5 Question: 

Why does a brand-new system have an empty battery? 

Due to the reason that the Ni-MH battery has self-discharged during shipping and shelf period. 

Since the battery capacity is very low, it may take a few hours to prompt the battery voltage to 

its normal stage. Please note the AC adapter LED will remain green even the battery is fully 

recharged. 

Also, the problem might be caused by BAD battery or drained battery. The drained battery is 

caused by excessively self-discharge of Ni-MH battery. It will happen after the battery has 

been stocked or shelved more than 3 months. 

 

1.6 Question: 

How do I do the battery learning cycle progress?

 

 

Cycling your battery every month or so will extend the life expectancy of your A440 battery. 

Important! Before beginning this process make sure your AC adapter is plugged in. The best 

way to do this is to turn the unit ON and press the F2 key when prompted to enter Setup. Go 

to the Power Management Setup menu and press Enter. Arrow down to Battery Auto
